    I  tried  that, but the nails in europe are packed that close
    that they hide each other then. Wasn't easy to find  a  point
    of view where everyone is visible.

    I'll  first create a magnifying glass over europe as sample 2
    :-)

    The next I'll try is a flat map directly looked at from above
    with  all  the names put with arrows onto a transparent layer
    above. That would make overlib/JavaScript  obsolete!  But  it
    requires that the names are readable at last.
